Authorities have closed a wide swath of popular campgrounds and backpacking areas along the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington as they search for a former Army soldier wanted in the deaths of his three young daughters. Law enforcement officers from an array of state and federal agencies are looking for Travis 32-year-old Caleb Decker after the girls were found dead at a remote campsite outside Leavenworth on Monday. They have been identified as 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker. The girls’ mother reported them missing May 30 when Caleb Decker failed to return them to her home in Wenatchee after a scheduled visit.
